This one is really gorgeous. So feminine, so pretty, so fluffy and frilly, and so fabulous! A beautiful, vintage, very early 1940s hat from legendary French American milliner and fashion designer, Lilly Dache’. Custom made, one of a kind, this darling Tilt topper is liberally covered in mounds of fluffy frilly ostrich plumes in a stunning color of heather purple-pink, or magenta plum, ombre’ toned, getting lighter at the tips, looking more purple in most lights and a bit more pink in others… But leaning more to purple than pink.. Hard to define this marvelous color. The base is a very small oval covered in magenta pink silk faille. Hiding in back is a lush large bow of French silk velvet in pale heather purple. This style of hat was often referred to as a “doll” or “toy” hat due to its small scale. Meant to be worn at a decided forward TILT, dipping over 1 eye, there are two (one is original) elastic ties which would be placed under/over the hair to hold the hat on the head and keep it at the tilt of your choosing. Completely hand sewn and a marvel to behold. This hat is all original and intact. The photos show just how pretty this darling hat is. A wonderful gift for the hat collector, or for yourself to wear to the next revival event such as Goodwood, VLV, The Kentucky Derby, or any special time you just want to get attention. Black and silver silk is Lilly Dache’, Paris New York, 78 East 56th Street, New York. Pretty enough to wear all year round. I show the hat on a full sized, adult millinery head. Head is not included. I can see Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Lauren Bacall or Rosalind Russell wearing this hat, can’t you? PLEASE SEE OUR AUCTIONS FOR MORE ANTIQUE and VINTAGE HATS, Clothing, AND MORE….
